Gillingham 0-4 Sheff Utd: What Wilder said
- Published
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder speaking to BBC Sport: "We haven't had many wins this season so to get back to that feeling for the players was good. We need to be consistent with our performances, no matter which competition. It's different from the Premier League, we had more of the ball.
"Everyone in the media world has turned up today looking at this fixture and thought 'home win, Premier League team getting knocked out'. We had to make sure we did a job on Gillingham, and we did that.
"We have some good young players. Andre Brooks was outstanding too. It was the first experience of playing at this level [for some youngsters]. It's fabulous for them that they got through it.
"It's not Under-21s football, it's full-on. We had to endure some tricky moments. Will [Osula] to get his two goals was great."
On new loan signing Ben Brereton Diaz: "He wanted to come. That was one of the biggest things for me, I want players to want to come here.
"It's been a whirlwind week. He's been flying back and forth from Spain. To get him on the pitch was good."
